The clustering of early cases around the Huanan market reflects where the COVID-19 virus emerged, not just where testing looked

Disputed The PMC/Science article does contain this sentence, but the exact wording in the official paper is "Through late 2019, ... intraspecies transmission," not the submitted "late-2019" / "intra-species" form. More importantly, the source is a multi-author research paper led by Jonathan E. Pekar with many named coauthors, including Jungmin Lee, so this platform cannot verify it as a single-author quote by Jungmin Lee. PubMed lists the multi-author byline, and the Science PDF shows the sentence; the PDF also notes online publication on 2022-07-26, while the journal issue date is 2022-08-26.
